ScreenTime Budget

Stop doomscrolling on autopilot. Set daily app limits, block distractions, start Focus sessions, and build a better Attention Score without ads or selling your data.

Take back your attention without deleting the apps you enjoy. ScreenTime Budget turns Apple Screen Time into a simple daily attention system. Set a time budget for distracting apps, let Screen Time shield them when the limit is reached, start Focus sessions when you need distraction-free time, and build a healthier relationship with your phone. Instead of judging your day by raw Screen Time minutes, ScreenTime Budget gives you an Attention Score from 0–100 based on focused time, mindful pauses, late-night unlocks, emergency passes, pickups, and how well you protected your attention. A subscription or Lifetime purchase is required to access ScreenTime Budget. SET DAILY APP BUDGETS Choose the apps, categories, or websites that pull you in, then decide how much time you want to give them each day. • Create custom attention budgets • Set daily limits from 5 to 240 minutes • Choose apps with Apple’s Family Activity picker • See time used, time remaining, and daily progress • Pause or enable saved budgets as your routine changes • When your active budget runs out, selected apps are shielded until tomorrow Only one budget is monitored at a time, keeping the system simple and predictable. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS WITH FOCUS Start a Focus session when you need to study, work, read, or spend time without distractions. ScreenTime Budget shields the apps you selected while the session is active. Track focused minutes, review recent sessions, and use locked intervals when you want fewer chances to back out. ATTENTION SCORE, NOT JUST SCREEN TIME Your phone usage is more than one giant number. ScreenTime Budget scores the quality of your attention from 0–100 and shows whether your day was Excellent, Great, Good, Needs Attention, or Off Track. See: • Your score for today • Change versus yesterday • A 7-day score trend • Focus time • Late-night unlock behavior • Pickups • Emergency-pass usage The goal is not perfection. It is seeing the habits behind your screen time and making better choices tomorrow. PAUSE BEFORE YOU OVERRIDE When a budget is exhausted, ScreenTime Budget can add a mindful pause between the impulse and the app. If you truly need access, emergency passes give you a short five-minute window without turning your whole system off. STRICT WHEN YOU NEED IT Locked intervals freeze budget edits and toggles during times you choose to protect. Your rules stay in place instead of disappearing the second motivation does. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE The Today tab brings everything together: • Attention Score and daily trend • Time remaining on your active budget • Budget progress • Focus time and recent sessions • Locked interval status • Saved-place context • Emergency passes remaining PRIVACY BY DESIGN No ads. No sale of personal data. Your Screen Time app selections stay on your device. Apple’s picker handles the selection, so ScreenTime Budget does not receive your raw app list. Optional iCloud sync is limited to budget configuration. Screen Time usage data is not synced to iCloud. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE ScreenTime Budget is built for students, professionals, creators, and anyone tired of doomscrolling, constant pickups, social media rabbit holes, and Screen Time limits that are too easy to ignore. Use it to limit social media, stop mindless scrolling, protect study and deep-work sessions, reduce late-night phone use, and build better digital habits.
